An Early Look at the 2019 WP Engine Summit

Developers, marketers, and technologists will head to Austin in June for the annual WP Engine Digital Breakthrough Summit. This event brings together some of the most prominent marketers and innovative thinkers who use WordPress for two days of knowledge, collaboration, and networking. Last year’s summit was chock-full of cutting-edge topics including AI, voice technology, AMP, and PWA, and attendees were able to get up-to-date on the latest digital trends while finding inspiration for creating their own digital breakthroughs.

WP Engine has expanded considerably over the last year. We’ve grown our customer base, strengthened our agency program, and added to our technology partnerships, all of which translates into a bigger and better summit experience for our attendees. This year you can expect deep dives from some of the world’s most sought-after digital experts across the agency, developer, and marketing spaces, as well as inspiration from outside the traditional technology realm. Check out some of the speakers, sessions, and topics we’re most excited for.

Creating a More Human Web

Artificial Intelligence can be an intimidating topic. Not only is it technically complex, it’s overarching and difficult to define. WP Engine is committed to helping you understand and utilize AI.

Director of Innovation at Goldsmiths at the University of London, Dr. Chris Brauer, will reveal the results of a WP Engine-sponsored study on the intersections of emerging technologies and human behavior.

Digital is transforming all industries, technology is more accessible than ever, and the web continues to evolve in ways many people never imagined.

In this session, Wired Editor-in-Chief, Nicholas Thompson will explore the ever-changing frontier of technology, some of the hottest areas of tech like AI, Big Data, Mobile, Cloud, and others that in many cases are being powered by open source technologies. He’ll also discuss what’s in store for our digital future.
